I paint works that operate beyond the white cube.
art conceived for silence, time, and sustained presence.

Scope

The practice develops paintings of high material and symbolic density conceived to operate beyond the white cube. The work is structured to sustain autonomy while circulating across institutional programs and lived architectural environments.

Rather than relying on exhibition formats or narrative framing, the paintings function through material accumulation, silence, and duration. The scope of the practice is defined by coexistence over time, allowing the work to remain rigorous within contexts of circulation, care, and power.

Structural Context

Contemporary art continues to operate predominantly within episodic exhibition formats. While these frameworks support critical visibility, they often limit how works engage with time, repetition, and sustained presence. As cultural and architectural systems increasingly intersect, the conditions under which art circulates are shifting.

This context calls for practices capable of maintaining rigor without relying exclusively on the white cube, allowing works to operate within broader structures of circulation, care, and use.

POSITIONING

the practice is positioned beyond context dependency. The paintings are conceived as autonomous structures that do not require the white cube to complete their meaning or function.

Rather than adapting to specific environments, the work maintains its integrity across institutional settings and lived architectural contexts. Positioning is defined by rigor, material presence, and duration, allowing the work to operate critically without becoming illustrative or event-driven.

Working Method

The work is developed through layered material processes that privilege accumulation over gesture and duration over immediacy. Decisions are guided by restraint, repetition, and structural balance rather than expressive narration. Silence is treated as an operative condition within the painting, shaping density and rhythm.

Each work is conceived with long-term coexistence in mind, allowing material presence to stabilize over time without reliance on spectacle, illustration, or contextual adaptation.

Operational Function

The work operates by regulating attention rather than demanding it. Through material density, silence, and repetition, the paintings establish conditions for sustained presence within different contexts.

In institutional settings, they support prolonged critical engagement without reliance on spectacle or narrative escalation. Within lived architectural environments, they modulate rhythm and duration while maintaining autonomy, resisting absorption into decorative or atmospheric frameworks.

Contextual Evidence

The work is presented through consistent documentation across institutional programs and architectural contexts. Paintings are shown maintaining the same formal and material conditions while operating within different systems of use. Evidence is established through installation views, dates, locations, and repetition over time. This documentation demonstrates continuity rather than adaptation, allowing the work’s autonomy and structural function to remain legible regardless of context.

Conditions of Engagement

Projects proceed only when spatial, material, and installation conditions allow the work to remain autonomous and non-decorative.

The practice does not adapt form, palette, or scale to accommodate context. Engagement is contingent on the capacity of the site to sustain silence, duration, and material presence without instrumentalization.
